setting is the most suitable. In

case of freezing large food

volumes, the Full Loaded

setting is the most suitable.

4. FIRST USE

4.1 Cleaning the interior

Before using the appliance for the first

time, the interior and all internal

accessories should be washed with

lukewarm water and some neutral soap to

remove the typical smell of a brand-new

product, then dried thoroughly.

CAUTION!

Do not use detergents or

abrasive powders, as these

will damage the finish.

www.electrolux.com54

5. DAILY USE

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

5.1 Freezing fresh food

The freezing (top) area is suitable for

freezing fresh food and storing frozen and

deep-frozen food for a long time.

To freeze fresh food, place it in the

freezing (top) compartment and leave it

there for 24 hours.

Move frozen food in the storing (lower)

compartments to make room for another

freezing.

The maximum amount of food that can be

frozen in 24 hours is specified on the

rating plate, a label located on the inside

of the appliance.

The freezing process lasts 24 hours:

during this period do not add other food

to be frozen.

5.2 Freezing Calendar

The symbols show different types of

frozen goods.

The numbers indicate storage times in

months for the appropriate types of frozen

goods. Whether the upper or lower value

of the indicated storage time is valid

depends on the quality of the foods and

treating before freezing.

5.3 Storage of frozen food

When first starting-up or after a period out

of use, before putting the products in the

compartment let the appliance run at least

8 hours on the higher settings.

In the event of accidental

defrosting, for example due

to a power failure, if the

power has been off for longer

than the value shown in the

technical characteristics chart

under "rising time", the

defrosted food must be

consumed quickly or cooked

immediately and then re-

frozen (after cooling).

5.4 Thawing

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being

used, can be thawed in the refrigerator

compartment or at room temperature,

depending on the time available for this

operation.

Small pieces may even be cooked still

frozen, directly from the freezer: in this

case, cooking will take longer.

6. HINTS AND TIPS

6.1 Normal operating sounds

The following sounds are normal during

operation:

• A faint gurgling and bubbling sound

from coils sound when refrigerant is

pumped.

• A whirring and pulsating sound from

the compressor when refrigerant is

pumped.

• A sudden cracking noise from inside

appliance caused by thermic dilatation

(a natural and not dangerous physical

phenomenon).

• A faint click noise from the temperature

regulator when the compressor

switches on or off.

6.2 Hints for energy saving

• Do not open the door frequently or

leave it open longer than absolutely

necessary.

6.3 Hints for freezing

To help you make the most of the freezing

process, here are some important hints:

ENGLISH

55

• the maximum quantity of food which

can be frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on

the rating plate;

• the freezing process takes 24 hours.

No further food to be frozen should be

added during this period;

• freeze only top quality, fresh and

thoroughly cleaned, foodstuffs;

• prepare food in small portions to

enable it to be rapidly and completely

frozen and to make it possible

subsequently to thaw only the quantity

required;

• wrap up the food in aluminium foil or

polythene and make sure that the

packages are airtight;

• do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to

touch food which is already frozen,

thus avoiding a rise in temperature of

the latter;

• lean foods store better and longer than

fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life

of food;

• water ices, if consumed immediately

after removal from the freezer

compartment, can possibly cause the

skin to be freeze burnt;

• it is advisable to show the freezing in

date on each individual pack to enable

you to keep tab of the storage time.

6.4 Hints for storage of frozen

food

To obtain the best performance from this

appliance, you should:

• make sure that the commercially frozen

foodstuffs were adequately stored by

the retailer;

• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are

transferred from the foodstore to the

freezer in the shortest possible time;

• not open the door frequently or leave it

open longer than absolutely necessary;

• once defrosted, food deteriorates

rapidly and cannot be refrozen;

• do not exceed the storage period

indicated by the food manufacturer.

CAUTION!

Never use sharp metal tools

to scrape off frost from the

evaporator as you could

damage it. Do not use a

mechanical device or any

artificial means to speed up

the thawing process other

than those recommended by

the manufacturer. A

temperature rise of the frozen

food packs, during

defrosting, may shorten their

safe storage life.

About 12 hours prior to

defrosting, set a lower

temperature, in order to build

up sufficient chill reserve for

the interruption in operation.

A certain amount of frost will always form

on the freezer shelves and around the top

compartment.

Defrost the freezer when the frost layer

reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.

1. Switch off the appliance, or pull out

electrical plug from the wall socket.

2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in

several layers of newspaper and put it

in a cool place.

3. Leave the door open and insert the

plastic scraper in the appropriate

seating at the bottom centre, placing a

basin underneath to collect the defrost

water.

In order to speed up the defrosting

process, place a pot of warm water in

the freezer compartment. In addition,

remove pieces of ice that break away

before defrosting is complete.

4. When defrosting is completed, dry the

interior thoroughly and keep the

scraper for future use.

5. Switch on the appliance.

6. Turn the Temperature Regulator to the

Full Loaded position and leave to run

for at least 8 hours.
